Posted on Fri, 6 Sep 2013

Question: I need to find a doctor to treat my mother for temporal arteritis complicated with heart disease. One that will do the research to find the BEST combinations of meds and supplements with which to treat her. She lives near Bonne Terre, Mo, and can go to St. XXXXXXX area for treatment. My mother has had intolerable reactions to the prednisone, and inadequate attention paid to the problem by the doctor she's been seeing. Her side-effects include weight gain coupled with inability to breathe.
